Session Fixation

Description

The application is vulnerable to session fixation attacks. Session fixation occurs when an attacker is able to set or “fix” a user’s session ID during authentication. Once an attacker fixes the session ID, they can effectively hijack the user’s session. This vulnerability is made possible by a session ID which is not updated after the user authenticates to the application.
